What Is Havana Syndrome? What to Know About the Mysterious Illness
What are the origins of Havana Syndrome?
But more cases of Havana Syndrome, in other places, have surfaced since then. At least three CIA officers have experienced serious health complications from Havana Syndrome episodes while they were overseas, according to. One occurred in 2020, when an officer says he suddenly developed severe nausea and headaches after pulling into an intersection. His 2-year-old son, who was in the backseat, started crying. After he left the intersection, his symptoms improved and his son stopped crying.
The symptoms from Havana syndrome are very similar to those of a concussion, he points out. And, as a result, he says, “treatments are limited to a small number of medicines and therapies,” with no real consensus on how patients should be treated. “Those therapies will be used by trial and error until a pattern emerges that supports a best practice,” Dr. Sachdev says.
